Though the literacy rate among men is still higher than that of women, the point that definitely needs to be mentioned is the 6.3 per cent rise in female literacy rate as against 4 per cent rise in male literacy rate, from 1996 to 2000.
A pesar de que esa tasa sigue siendo superior entre los hombres que entre las mujeres, es preciso subrayar que de 1996 a 2000 la tasa de alfabetismo correspondiente a las mujeres aumentó un 6,3% y la de los hombres un 4%.
